On Sunday, a wildfire in the Claps massif in Drôme advanced by about fifty hectares, bringing the total area burned to 370 hectares, according to France 24.

Meanwhile, another fire broke out in Lozère, covering 153 hectares in just a few hours and leading to the evacuation of twenty homes, as reported by Le Figaro.

These wildfires occur as Western Europe experiences a historically hot start to summer, further complicating the situation for emergency services battling the flames.
